Really cool this! New insight into where museum specimens come from is always welcome, would love to be able to apply it to egg collections (many of which are unlabelled due to their collectors being old, bored, 19th century toffs who were only in it for aesthetic value and prestige).

The men are shit, the women are shit, the Union’s full of cunts, your club’s about to be cut, and it honestly feels like it’s only going to keep getting worse. Welsh Rugby in 2025 is the pits.

The Amazon Soy Moratorium has been one of the greatest successes in halting #deforestation since its implementation in 2006.
